The Lynx engine has been around in largish numbers for 15 years now in the UK, and there don't seem to have been noticeably good or bad engines.

However there have been around 100 ways found to 'improve' the engines, some more noticeable than others and all of them contrary to the class rules.

So I don't see why, since the X30 comes from the same stable and shares many characteristics, the situation will change.

Of course, to an extent there will always be drivers who can afford to mix and match a large number of components so as to take advantage of the tolerances, just as there will be drivers who take a brand new engine and bore it out to its limit immediately on the grounds that replacing the liner every race is a small cost to pay for the small advantage given by the extra volume when there is a trophy at stake.

Nor is the quality of the engine any indicator of the popularity it will achieve, if something else comes along in the meantime with a bigger hype coefficient, then X30 is doomed. It may not be any performance factor either, I reckon brightly anodised barrels that looked really noticeable in the sunshine should be enough to see off most of the classes around today, more so with a fake band of 'carbon fibre' for extra go-faster appeal.
